Photography has been my hobby – my passion for many years – 35mm, medium format, and even 4×5 including darkroom work from Color Neg, and Color Transparency. I now use a Canon 5DMIII with Canon L lenses – EF 24 – 70mm 2.8L, EF 70-200mm IS 2.8L, EF 180mm f3.5L, TSE 24mm f3.5, 2X Extenders, and a variety of ND graduated filters. I am also started to get back into film and also use a Pentax 67II. I shoot all my images in RAW format and use Lightroom 5 and PS CS6 for basic editing.

I love to travel for the sake of taking photographs. Some of my favorite places are Maine, Nova Scotia, Desert Southwest, Pacific Northwest, California, Alaska, Hawaii, Canadian Rockies to name a few. I recently traveled to Scotland and Norway on a Transient Light Workshops and just have to go back someday.
